The Tri-Cities is a metropolitan area in the southeast corner of Washington, consisting of Benton and Franklin counties. Three neighboring cities are the principal cities for the metropolitan area: Kennewick, Pasco, and Richland. A fourth neighboring city, West Richland, is generally included as part of the Tri-City area and region. Pasco is the seat of Franklin County, while the other cities are located in Benton County. If the Tri-Cities were a single city, it would be the fourth largest city in the state of Washington, behind Seattle, Spokane, and Tacoma. The Tri-Cities make up the largest metropolitan area in the southeastern quadrant of Washington

The Tri-Cities are in a semi-arid climate, receiving an average of 7 to 8 inches of precipitation every year. Winds periodically exceed 30 mph when Chinook wind conditions exist. There are 300 days of sunshine every year. Temperatures range from as low as 10 °F in the winter to as high as 110 in the summer, and even reached 115 °F in July 2006. The region receives occasional snow most years. The large Cascade Mountain Range to the west contributes to the semi-arid climate.

The Tri-Cities economy has historically been based on farming and the Hanford Nuclear Reservation. Recent years have seen the region's booming wine
industry second in size only to California's Napa Valley. The production of Milk as well as Apples, grapes, Cherries, Grain, Alfalfa and many other Agriculture products keeps the Tri-Cities at the top of the list as one of the most favorable places for fresh Farm products.
